PREFACE. 



Department of the Interior, 

Bureau of Pensions, 

Washingtoji, D. C, September "6, 1900. 

Sir : Some years ago I compiled, for the use of the Bureau, an alpha- 
betical list of battles of the war of the rebellion, which I afterwards 
revised. Many additions thereto were made and the battles of the 
Mexican, Indian, and Revolutionary wars were also included. This 
compilation was as complete as it was possible to make it from the 
data to be procured at the time, and it is an accepted fact that it has 
proved to be of great assistance to the Bureau. 

Some eight or ten years ago, when the Government commenced the 
publication of the Rebellion Record, 1 began a second revision of the 
Alphabetical List of Battles, taking said record as authority. I have 
also used all the data obtainable from the reports of the various Depart- 
ments and from what would appear to be other reliable sources, rela- 
tive to the Spanish-American war and the Philippine insurrection, such 
as is believed will be valuable in the adjudication of pension claims on 
account of service in said wars. 

The work of revision has been done evenings and at odd hours, prin- 
cipally out of the office. It is now iinished and, although it may have 
imperfections, it is believed to be as complete as it is possible to make 
a work of this kind. 

I desire to present to you the manuscript for publication for the use 
of the Pension Bureau, reserving for myself all other rights pertaining 
thereto. 

Veiy respectfully, 

N. A. Strait. 

Hon. H. Clay Evans, i 

Com m iss loner of Pensions.

Dear Sir: I have to acknowledge and thank you for your g-enerous 
offer of the 6th instant of permission to have printed a limited number 
of copies of the Alphabetical List of Battles, compiled by yourself for 
the use and information of this Bureau. 

The first edition of the List of Battles and your Roster of Regi- 
mental Surgeons, with post-office addresses, have proved of valuable 

assistance to the work of this Bureau.

2 PEEFACE. 

You state that the work of revision has been done evenings and at 
odd hours. Under those circumstances I consider you justified in 
reserving for yourself all other rights and benefits to be derived from 
the book, and the same should be respected. 
Very respectfully, 

H. Clay Evans, 

Co7mniss iojier.

CAUSES OF THE PvEBELLIOl^. 

The North and the South had for years held antagonistic views on 
two vital questions — the tariff and slavery. The North, being largely 
engaged in manufacturing, desired a high tariff; while the South, 
whose wealth consisted of cotton, sugar, and slaves, desired free trade. 

The question as to the boundary of slave territory was supposed to be 
finally settled ])y the Missouri Compromise of 1820, but when Kansas 
and Nebraska were established as Territories the compromise Avas 
repealed, and the question as to whether they should be free or slave 
States was left to the people of each Territory to decide for themselves. 

Then the trouble began. Both parties, the proslavery and the anti- 
slavery, set to work to get a majority of the votes in their favor, but 
the settlers from the New England States poured into the new Terri- 
tory so much more rapidly than those from the Southern States that 
when Kansas voted on the proposition she decided against slaverv by 
an overwhelming majority. 

This defeat of the proslavery people caused intense feeling through- 
out the South, and when the Republican party came into power by 
the election of Abraham Lincoln, November 6, 1860, the leaders in 
Southern politics knew that all hopes of a further extension of slave 
territory" were gone, and they immediately began to plan for a disso- 
lution of the Union. 

The South Carolina Senators withdrew from Congress November 9 
and 11, and that State formally seceded, by a vote of the people, 
December 20, 1860. It was followed by Mississippi January 9; Florida, 
January 10; Alabama, January 11; Georgia, January 19; Louisiana, 
January 26; Texas, Februarj^ 1; Virginia, April 17; Arkansas, May 6; 
North Carolina, May 21; and Tennessee June 8, 1861. The western 
portion of Virginia refused to secede, and became a separate State 
in 1863. 

The war opened with the firing on the Star of the West b}' the Con- 
federate })atteries in Charleston Harbor January 9, 1861, and closed, 
practicallv, with Lee's surrender, April 9, 1865.

iTho compiler recalls having seen I'residcnt Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, 
accompanied by a militarv (illircr unkndwn to him, at Fort Stevens on the forenoon of July 11. 
Arrivi!i.tr '.ly the Fourteenth street road, tlieir carriage stopped and they alighted about 100 feet from 
the Krii,'lit\v<ii)d Hotel and erosse<l the Seventh street mad in the rear of the fort, or near where the 
car harn is now situated. Thev halted on a small knoll or rise of ground located on the right and not 
quite abreast of the fort. As tliev were crossing the Seventh street road tliey were joined by an officer 
from the fort with a pair of lield"glasses, with which he swept the country until he evidently located 
the object souglit. He then handed the glasses to the President, at the same time iiointing in the 
direction that he desired him to look. The glasses were in turn passed to Mr. St^iuton and to the 
unknown olVuer before mentioned. 

The distinguished party had been there hut a very short time before the officer from the fort ap- 
peared anxious to have them move from their exposed position. The compiler was not near enough 
to hear the conversation, but the uneasiness of the oflicer to get them to return was very plain, as 
shown by his gestures and movements. lie linally rather abruptly took the glasses from the Presi- 
dent's hand and returned them to then- case, starting in the direction of the carriage, the party fol- 
lowed, but rather reluctantly. I believe Mr. Stanton accompanied the officer from the fort on his 
return to the carriage, the President and the otlier officer following. 

The partv passed within a few feet of the comiiiler both in .going and returning to their carriage, 
and were in full view during their entire stav. wliirh did not exceed thirty minutes. It was after- 
wards learneil that the anxietv of the officer fi'oin the fort to get the party to a less expo.sed position 
was on account of several shots having struck but a short distance from where they were standing.

sion of the Philippines, was therefore instructed by cable, June 16, 1900, to send at 
once a regiment of infantrv to Taku, and six davs later Ma]. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee,

AUTHORITY FOR INCREASE AND REORGANIZATION OF THE REGULAR AND 
VOLUNTEER MILITARY FORCES. 

[From report of the Adjutant-General.] 

On the passage of the joint resolution, approved April 20, 1898, demanding that 
Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and to withdraw 
its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, the Army of the LTnited 
States consisted of 2,143 officers and 26,040 enlisted men. 

Under the above resolution and the act of April 22, 1898, the President issued a 
proclamation April 23, 1898, calling for 125,000 volunteers. This was followed on 
May 25, 1898, by a proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers. 

The approval of the act of April 26, 1898, increased the Regular Army to 63,106 
men, to be reduced at the end of the war to a peace basis, namely, 26,610 enlisted 
men. Meeting this instruction of the Congress, the men enlisted under the above 
act (practically for the war with Spain) were informed, in General Orders, No. 40, 
May 10, 1898, that they would be granted their discharge, if desired, at the close of 
the war, upon individual application. 

By the act approved May 11, 1898, Congress authorized, in addition to the volun- 
teers provided by the act of April 22, the organization of a volunteer brigade of engi- 
neers of not more than 3,500 men. The same act authorized the organization of an 
additional volunteer force not exceeding 10,000 men, possessing immunity from disease 
incident to tropical climates. 

The protocol was signed August 12, 1898, and on September 5, 1898, the first organ- 
ization of volunteers was mustered out of the service. This was followed immediately 
by orders for the muster out of nearly one-half of the Volunteer Army. 

On the signing of the treaty of peace, April 11, 1899, it at once became necessary to 
muster out all the volunteer organizations, but, as stated heretofore, the volunteers 
in the Philippines cheerfully remained and rendered service until the Government 
was al)le to send regular and volunteer regiments to relieve them. 

The act of March 2, 1899, authorized the President to "enlist" from the nation at 
large 35,000 volunteers, or so much thereof as might be necessary. Under the same 
act Congress authorized the recruitment of the Regular Army to' 65,000 men. 

Under the act of March 2, 1899, authority was given the commanding general. 
Department of Porto Rico, to recruit a battalion of volunteers (400) from among the 
Porto Ricans, and such recruiting began on March 24, 1899. 

On July 5, 1899, the President, through the Secretary of War, ordered the organi- 
zation of ten regiments of volunteer infantry; on July 18, 1899, of two regiments of 
volunteer infantry and a regiment of volunteer cavalry (the three regiments last 
named to be organized and recruited in the Philippine Islands) ; on August 17, 1899, 
of ten additional regiments of volunteer infantry; and on September 9, 1899, of two 
additional regiments of volunteer infantry (the enlisted men and company officers of 
the laat two regiments to be colored). '

It is held by the Pension Bureau and Secretary of the Interior that enlistments in 
loyal States after April 13, 1865, will not be deemed as rebellion service for pension- 
able purposes. Enlistments in any other States, Territories, or District of Columbia 
after June 1, 1865, will not l)e deemed as enlistments for the wai of the rebellion.

in or for the war of the rebellion. To overcome this the burden of proof is upon the 
claimant. 

In another decision it is held by the Assistant Secretary of the Interior that the 
technical legal termination of the war was August 20, 1866. Service rendered after 
July, 1865, will be presumed not to have been in said war, and that burden of proof 
will be upon the claimant. 

Service rendered after April 2, 1866, must be shown to have been rendered in some 
connection with the war as existing in the State of Texas.

THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. 

From April 21, 1898, to April 1 1, 1899. (The protocol was signed August 12, 1898. ) 

For a period of ten years, from 1868 to 1878, the inhabitants of Cuba were engaged 
in a struggle to free themselves from the yoke of Spanish tyranny, but were defeated. 
The Spanish Government made most liberal promises, but failed to keep them. 

Hostilities were renewed which lasted for three years, from 1895 to 1898. The inhabi- 
tants were in a most deplorable condition; the reconcentrados— men, women, and 
children, noncombatants— were by edict of the Spanish captain-general, Weyler, 
driven from their homes, crowded together without proper food or shelter, and died 
by thousands of disease and starvation. 

The attention and sympathy of the American people had for several years been 
attracted to this miserable condition of the Cubans, and many attempts had been 
made to relieve their distress. 

At the beginning of 1898 about 40 per cent of the inhabitants had perished. At 
this juncture two events happened which increased the tension in the United States. 
One was the exposure of a letter written by Sefior de Lome, the Spanish minister to 
the United States, to a friend, grossly reflecting upon the President; the other Avas 
a demand by the Spanish Government for the recall from Cuba of Consul-General 
Lee, which was refused. 

On the 25th of January, 1898, the United States battleship Maine was ordered to 
Habana Harbor, on a peaceful mission, by the authority of the United States, and 
on the 15th of February, 1898, between 9 and 10 o'clock p. m., the vessel was blown 
up by a submarine miiie, 266 sailors loosing their lives. A searching investigation 
followed without fixing the responsibility. Congress immediately appropriated 
$50,000,000 "for the national defense and for each and every purpose connected 
therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President." 

After fruitless effort to bring about an amicable settlement, on April 11, 1898, the 
President asked Congress to intervene to stop the Cuban war, and by force to estab- 
lish a stable government on the island. On April 19, 1898, Congress passed resolu- 
tions, which were signed by the President at 11.24 a. m. the following day, declaring 
"that the people of the island of Cuba are, and by right ought to be, free and inde- 
pendent," and demanding that Spain at once relinquish its authority in the island, 
etc. It also authorized the President to use the entire military force of the United 
States to carry the resolution into effect. 

The diplomatic relations between the two countries ceased April 21, 1898, and it 
was held that a state of war existed from that date. Blockade of the principal Cuban 
ports was declared April 22, and on the 2.3d the President called for 125,000 volun- 
teers to serve two years, and on May 24 the Spanish Government announced that a 
state of war between that country and the United States existed. 

The protocol of agreement between the United States and Spain was signed at 
Washington, D. C, August 12, 1898, by William R. Day and Jules Cambon. 

The treaty of peace was signed at Paris December 10, 1898, by William R. Day, 
Cushman K. Davis, William P. Frye, George Gray, and Whitelaw Reid, for tlie 
United States, and by Eugenio Montero Rios, B. de Abarzuza, J. de Garnica, W. R. 
de Villa Urrutia, and Rafael Cerero, for the Kingdom of Spain. 

Signed at Paris, December 10, 1898; ratification advised by the Senate Februarv 
6, 1899; ratified l)y the President February 6, 1899; ratified by Her Majesty the 
Queen Regent of Spain March 19, 1899; ratifications exchanged at Washington April 
11, 1899; proclaimed, Washington, April 11, 1899.

The following is another account of the same battle: 

On the night of June 16, 1775, a detachment of about 1,200 men left Camliridge 
under orders to fortify and defend the heights overlooking Boston. Col. William 
Prescott, from his experience in military affairs and his being an officer in the Mas- 
sachusetts line, had been chosen to conduct the enterprise. The start was made 
about 9 o'clock. At Charlestown Neck they were met by the wagons laden with 
intrenching tools. It was necessary to proceed with the utmost caution, for they 
were coming on ground over which the British kept jealous watch. The orders 
M'ere to fortify Bunker Hill, but when the designated place was reached it was 
decided that Breeds Hill (about 700 yards distant) was the better point to hold, as 
it was nearer Boston and had a Ijetter command of the town and shipping. Tlie 
lines for the fortifications were marked out. The men seized their trenching tools 
and set to work with great spirit. Prescott, who felt the responsibility of his charge, 
almost despaired of carrying on these operations undiscovered. A party was sent 
to patrol the shore at the foot of the heights and watch for any movement of 
the enemy. Not willing to trust entirely to the vigilance of others, he twice went 
down during the night to the water's edge, reconnoitering everything scrupulously 
and noting every sight and sound. At dawn of day the Americans at work were 
espied l)y the sailors on board of the ships of war, and the alarm was given. The 
captain of the Lirei;/, the nearest ship, without waiting for orders, opened fire upon 
the hill; the other ships followed his example. Prescott now mounted the parapet 
and walked leisurely about inspecting the works, giving directions and talking cheer- 
fully with the men. Encouraged l)y the words and the brave example of their 
commander, standing in full view at the top of the embankment with cannon balls 
])assing him on all sides, the men completed the earthworks and prepared to meet 
the British soldiers. 

Camden, or Hobkirks Hill, S. C, April 25, 1781. — Fought between 900 British 
under Lord Rawdon and 1,200 Americans under General Greene. The Americans

wounded, and made i)risoners; British, 324 killed and wounded. 

Catawba Ford, S. C, August 18, 1780. — The I'ritish under Colonel Tarleton

7. .Vfter having received reenforcements Scott left Puebla on the 7th of August, 
1847, and resumed his march toward the Mexican capital, and on the 10th the 
American troops saw the extensive valk\v of Mexico before them. Lakes, 
plains, cities, and cloud-capped mountains burst upon their gaze. Away in the 
distance was seen the great city of the Monteznmas, with its lofty domes and 
towers. But between that city and the American army were strong fortifica- 
tions and a Mexican army of 30,000 men under Santa Ana to be overcome.

20. On the 20th of August, 1847, the American army, after a bloody struggle, carried 
the Mexican camp of Contreras by assault. On the same day the Americans 
took the strong fortress of San Antonio, and gained a brilliant victory over the 
Mexicans at Churubusco. Santa Ana's army, virtually annihilated, fled to 
the capital. During this bloody day the Mexicans lost 4,000 men killed and 
wounded, and 3,000 were made prisoners by the victorious Americans. Scott 
now offered the Mexicans peace. Santa Ana asked for an armistice, which 
Scott granted, but when informed that the treacherous Mexican general was 
improving the time by strengthening the defenses of the capital the American 
commander declared the armistice at an end, on the 7th of September. 

SEPTEMBER. 

8-14. Fall of the capital: The victorious Americans took by storm the strong posi- 
tion of Molino del Rey on the 8th of September, and the lofty fortified hill of 
Chepultepec on the 13th of the same month, and on the 14th Scott entered the 
Mexican capital in triumph, and by his orders the Stars and Stripes were 
placed on the national palace. Order was soon restored in the city. Santa 
Anna and the authorities of the Mexican Republic had fled.

the United States and Mexico was made at Guadaloupe Hidalgo on the 2d of 
February, 1848, and submitted to the United States Senate, who made"material 
amendments, which were finally ratified by the Mexican Senate May 23, 1848, 
and President Polk proclaimed peace on the 4th of July of the same year. By 
the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, New Mexico and California became Terri- 
tories of the United States, while the United States Government agreed to pay

Early Pension Legislation. 

It will he of interest to know that the foundation of our present pension system is 
older than the Declaration of Independence. 

The iirst national ])ension law wa.s parsed August 20, 1776, hefore our independence 
was established. But prior to this, early in the history of colonial legislation, many 
of the lOnglish colonies in America had provided for the relief of wounded and 
maimed soldiers. 

In 1()?>6 the I'ilgrims at Plymouth enacted in their courts that any man who should 
he sent forth as a soldier and rettu-n maimed should l)e mtiintained competently by 
the colony during his life. This was probably the Iirst pension law passed in America. 
In 1()7() a standing committee of the general court of Mas.sachusetts Bay held regular 
meetings in "Boston toune house" to hear the api)licatio)is of woundeti soldiers for 
relief. After the union of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies under the 
charter of 1(59], the province continued to make provision for the relief of disabled 
soldiers out of the i)ublic treasury. 



BATTLES OF THE OLD WARS, 1754-1848. 243 

In 1644 the Virginia assembly passed a disability pension law, and later provision 
for the relief of the indigent families of soldiers who should be slain. Similar acts 
are found in the colonial statutes of Maryland and New York in the latter i)art of the 
seventeenth century. In 1718 Rhode Island enacted a pension law, which provided 
that every officer, soldier, or sailor employed in the colony's service, who slintild be 
disabled by loss of limb or otherwise from getting a livelihoo<l for himself and family 
or other dependent relatives, should have his wounds carefully looked after and 
healed at the colony's charge, and should have an annual pension for the mainte- 
nance of himself and family or other dependent relatives. The law further provided 
that if any person, who had the charge of maintaining a wife, children, parents, or 
other relatives, should be slain in the colony's military service, these relatives should 
be maintained while unable to provide for themselves. 

The above shows that the custom of pensioning soldiers is as old as the English 
settlement. 

The first national pension law, that of August 26, 1776, promised half pay for life 
or during disability to every officer, soldier, or sailor losing a liml) in any engage- 
ment, or being so disabled in the service of the United States as to render him inca- 
pable of earning a livelihood. 

On August 24, 17S0, a resolution was adopted extending the above half-pay provi- 
sion to the widows or orjihan children of such officers as had died, or sh(juld die in 
the service. This was the first national pension law in behalf of widows and orphans. 

On April 23, 1782, Congress provided that soldiers who were sick or wounded or 
unfit for duty should receive a discharge and be pensioned at the rate of $5 per 
month. It is further shown that history is repeating itself, as Congress was as unable 
at that time as at the present to enact pension laws that were in all respects satis- 
factory to the masses. The money was not always in the Treasury to pay the pensions 
after the same had been granted,' much being promised but little realized. Many 
were paid in conunutation certificates payable to them or bearer and drawing interest 
at 6 per cent, but no i)rovision was made for paying either. Many of these were 
compelled to part with their certificates as low^ as i2i cents on the dollar.

disal)ilities separately and compounding so as to allow the full amount which the 
disabilities, so considered, would aggregate. 

The act of March 2, 1895, jirovides that all pensioners now on the rolls who are 
pensioned at less than six dollars per month, for any degree of pensionable disabil- 
ity, shall have their pensions increased to six dollars per month; and that, hereafter,

than six dollars for any single disability or several combined disabilities, such jien- 
sioner shall be rated at not less than six dollars per month: Provided also, That the

the rank of tlie soldier is determined by the rank held by him when death cause was 
incurred, without regard to subsequent promotions.
